Chapter 819 Let him make a scene!
Mu Xin Nuan's eyes darkened. Mu Qing Xuan was still young and naive. He was probably already being targeted by someone.
Although Mu Xin Nuan was married, she knew from her conversations with her mother that her mother had already arranged for two clever and sensible maids in his courtyard. Mu Qing Xuan had indeed already experienced the pleasures of love and could no longer be considered a man who had never been intimate.
However, when it comes to something as mysterious and alluring as love, he probably still has little experience.
Therefore, the mere appearance of one of them is enough to disturb his peace of mind.
She was just a woman who wasn't even from a respectable family, yet she completely overwhelmed him. It seems that Mu Qingxuan is indeed lacking in experience.
"Since Yangyang is here today, don't rush to leave. Stay at the East Palace for a couple more days so you can keep your sister company, okay?"
Mu Qingyang was first delighted, then worried. "But sister, Mother is sick, and she was made sick by my eldest brother. If I don't go back, wouldn't I be unfilial?"
Mu Xin Nuan was startled, "Is Mother's illness serious?"
Mu Qingyang shook his head. "I don't know. However, my brother-in-law had already sent the imperial physician to see my mother and prescribed a medicine. She was already feeling better after taking the medicine, but today, she was angered by my elder brother again. Judging from what the physician said, it must be a psychological problem."
Mu Xin Nuan nodded, "I understand. Don't worry. I'll have the guards from the East Palace escort you back in a bit. Also, I'll bring some of the best tonics for Mother."
Aunt Fang knew that the Crown Princess was always filial. "Your Majesty, the Empress recently bestowed a thousand-year-old ginseng. Why don't we send it to the Mu residence as well?"
Mu Xin smiled, "Thank you, Aunt Fang. You're even more thoughtful than I am."
Mu Qingyang chatted with Mu Xinnuan for a while, and just then he saw Duanmu Chuze return.
The moment Mu Qingyang met his somewhat sharp gaze, he felt a chill run down his spine.
"Brother-in-law, I just came to see my sister. I really didn't say anything. Please don't scare me."
Duanmu Chuze paused, then looked him up and down. "Mu Qingyang, I think you're really asking for it. You're badmouthing me in front of your sister, you know that?"
Of all his brothers-in-law, only the youngest one treated him with disrespect.
Although Mu Qingyang was afraid of him, she couldn't help but cause him trouble every time.
"You've returned early today."
Duanmu Chuze's clothes had already been removed by the palace servants. Fearing that the cold on his body might pass to Mu Xin Nuan, he stopped in front of the charcoal stove to ward off the cold.
"Why is he here?"
Mu Xin Nuan just smiled and didn't say anything. Aunt Fang briefly recounted what had just happened, and sure enough, Duanmu Chu Ze glared fiercely at Mu Qing Yang.
"Sister, look, my brother-in-law is bullying me! He's glaring at me!"
Mu Qingyang realized that he was afraid of the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince was afraid of his sister!
This is what is meant by one thing subduing another!
"Mu Qingyang, don't try to frame me. Alright, you've been here long enough, go back now. Go, arrange for a few guards to escort the Third Young Master back to his residence."
After seeing the person off, Duanmu Chuze was a little unhappy. "You're pregnant now, so there are some things that are inconvenient for you to handle personally."
"I understand, so you sent someone to cover up the news of my mother's illness?"
As Mu Xin Nuan spoke, she gave him a cool glance.
That one glance really startled Duanmu Chuze.
“Anuan, I’m worried about you. Besides, this is Mu Qingxuan’s own business. Since that’s the case, why don’t you let him experience it and face it on his own? What’s wrong with that?”
Mu Xin Nuan paused slightly. "You mean I should stay out of this and just let him do whatever he wants?"
"You can't bear it?"
Mu Xin Nuan's expression was rather unpleasant. "If things get out of hand, won't it ruin Ah Xuan's reputation? Then, which noblewoman would still be willing to marry him?"
Duanmu Chuze reached out and took the bird's nest that Rongyue had just brought in. He scooped up a spoonful, then gently blew on it a few times before slowly bringing it to her lips.
Mu Xin Nuan ate several bites in a row, seemingly somewhat absent-minded.
Duanmu Chuze didn't call out to her, knowing that she was also wondering if it was worth it.
“Anuan, Mu Qingxuan’s life has been too smooth, which is not a good thing. Without experiencing setbacks, he will never grow up and will never understand what the Mu family means to him. Think about yourself, if it weren’t for that Song family member who was always trying to harm you, would you have matured so quickly?”
Mu Xin Nuan was stunned for a moment, thinking back to how she had always protected Mu Qing Xuan under her shoulder, and now he was already a man.
Duanmu Chuze is right. Mu Qingxuan is a man. If he cannot grow up quickly, he may not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibilities of the Mu family in the future.
The Mu family is now facing not only prosperity, but also crisis.
All crises lurk in the deepest, most hidden places, and are not visible to just anyone.
"Alright, I'll just watch and see what Ah Xuan does. Is that alright?"
Duanmu Chuze chuckled and fed her another bite. "That's a good boy. Only by letting him fall once will he have a deeper understanding of the ways of the world."
“But I’m worried that this would be too risky.”
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. You're pregnant now, so you definitely need to be careful. I'll keep an eye on Mu Qingxuan for you. I'll report his reactions to you every day, okay?"
Mu Xin Nuan finally relaxed her brows and eyes. "That's good. Now I can rest assured."
"Are you going to invite Jing'er to come and keep you company tomorrow?"
"Well, that's perfect. I can also subtly inquire about the character of that family of three. At least, I need to know something about Chu Yan, right?"
"That's good. She's quite lively, so you won't feel bored with her around."
Mu Xin Nuan gave him a reproachful look, "Actually, I'd rather leave the palace and go for a walk."
Duanmu Chuze knew he couldn't persuade her otherwise, and besides, staying cooped up in the palace for so long was indeed too boring.
“I have a day off in a couple of days, so I can accompany you to the Mu family home and visit your mother.”
"Fine, you'd better keep your word! If you dare to lie to me, I won't let you off!"
"No, I wouldn't dare! Alright, come on, eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Mu Qingyang returned to the Mu residence. He was quite cunning and instructed the servants not to say that he had gone to the East Palace.
My sister is pregnant, and my mother certainly wouldn't want him to trouble her.
In the study, Mu Chang'an was glaring angrily at Mu Qingxuan.
